Eco & longevity

We favor targeted cleaning and avoid overly aggressive cycles to limit ink consumption.
Cleaning methods: which one to choose?
Three complementary approaches: software cycles, manual cleaning and specialized kits. Here are the pros and cons.
Software cleaning (printer/driver menu)
Pros
Simple, no disassembly; ideal for light clogging.
Cons
Consumes ink; limited effect on severe clogs.
Manual cleaning (heads/rollers/sensors)
Pros
Targeted and effective; improves paper feed and print quality.
Cons
Requires expertise; risk if done improperly; takes time.
Specialized cleaning kits
Pros
Helps with persistent nozzle clogs; often durable results.
Cons
Handle with care; not suitable for every model.
Print a color page at least once a month to prevent nozzle drying.
Frequently asked questions
When done properly, cleaning is safe. We avoid harsh products and follow the manufacturer’s procedures.
Typically 45–60 minutes depending on buildup and model (longer if multiple cycles are required).
If clogs persist after several methods, the head is damaged, or repair costs exceed the device’s value.
